    "plus ça change, plus c'est la même, chose"
"The more it changes, the more it’s the same thing" -- Jean-Baptiste Alphones Karr

I've admired this quote from the moment I first read and understood it a few years ago.

I think because of the weight and sentiment behind such a saying and feeling, yet its brevity, such a simple and poetic manner, really makes it for me, even when truncated to its more-common reference as "plus ça change"
